ABOUT PRODUCTID 12536
This Polish Art Deco pill box from the 1930s stands out with its geometric, streamlined form, typical of the period’s aesthetic. The lid features silver-plated copper with a soft matte finish and a warm brownish patina, gently domed and free from additional ornament — a minimalist approach that speaks directly to the Deco ethos. The base is crafted from high-quality, transparent cut crystal, adorned with faceted vertical sides that catch and play with light, adding a sense of lucidity and subtle brilliance. The crisp junction between the lid and crystal, the absence of visible hardware, and the flat, likely faceted base all testament to careful craftsmanship. Overall condition is good: the silvered copper has an even patina and minor surface scratches, while the crystal base remains free of cracks or chips.The object’s silhouette is deeply rooted in the spirit of interwar modernism. Its restrained yet sophisticated line and juxtaposition of cold metal with transparent, gleaming crystal echo a time when urban elegance imbued even the smallest items used in daily life – a silent reminder of the way luxury and careful attention to detail quietly shaped the modern world. This modest container seems to murmur stories of café evenings and personal rituals from another era, encapsulating the Deco spirit that turned functionality into an object of subtle prestige.In a collector’s interior, the pill box could be displayed on a mirrored tray or open walnut shelf, pairing well with other highlights of Polish Art Deco — geometric decanters, silver-plated sugar bowls, or period porcelain. It also lends itself as a discreet accent atop a dressing table, side by side with a classic powder compact or crystal perfume bottle, adding a thread of timelessness to vintage eclectic or refined classic arrangements.
